Question by joe: Under what circumstances could a doctor legally prescribe hgh?
A doctor can’t just prescribe hgh to a short person, right? The person has to actually be gh deficient? If that is true, wouldn’t it be possible for a tall person to be gh deficient? What are some of the signs and symptoms of someone who is gh deficient (except short stature)?
What else can hgh do besides increase height? Does it have any effect on the facial muscles, arms, wrists, neck, ears?

Answer by David D
Actually, if a child is short a doctor can prescribe GH, even if that is the only complaint. Problem is it is very expensive and insurance companies tend to not cover it. There can be causes of GH defic. such as head trauma or cancers which would be more likely to be covered by insurances.
